Frequently Asked Questions

• What is medical tourism? Generally, medical tourism is described as the rapidly-growing practice of travelling across international borders to obtain health care at affordable prices. However, we believe that it is a fabulous opportunity to combine a great vacation (discovering beautiful places all over the world) with state of the art medical services and enhancing your health and beauty at a third of the cost you would pay in your home country.
• Are the doctors and clinics of good quality? All our partner clinics have highly skilled specialists and use the newest technologies. Most specialists have experience gained from professional exchange programmes in other European countries and the USA. We only deal with the best medical service providers equivalent to the US and European standards.
• What is the quality of care? Our partner network only includes state of the art medical facilities and highly professional specialists. We do not chase for the lowest price for a medical procedure, but we ensure that the quality of services is not affected by the price.
• What about the language? Most of our partner doctors speak English language; some of specialists know more foreign languages (German, French, Russian, Italian). On your request you will be provided with personal English-speaking assistant and our English-speaking team will be at your disposal at any time while you are abroad.
• What are the risks? We cannot claim that there are no risks when undergoing any medical procedure in general. Our biggest concern is to ensure our clients medical services of the highest quality according to European and US standards, then the level of risk is no greater than at their home country.
• Will I really save a lot of money? Undoubtedly, savings is a very important part of medical tourism practice. By travelling abroad for medical treatment you can save up to 70% on total costs, including costs for medical treatment, travel, accommodation, sightseeing, etc. The amount of your savings depends on various factors – destination country, the costs of the medical treatment you need at your home country, insurance coverage, etc.
